Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

The BEST MD I've seen in my 68 years & I've been with some good ones. Attentive, down- to- earth, accomodating, with a canny ability to explain everything liver related in a clear, concise, & easily understandable manner. His sense of humor helped to put me at ease too. I highly recommend Dr. Einstein for professional, compassionate, & timely medical advice/care/treatment.

I would strongly recommend that you do not use the services of Dr. Michael Einstein. He is disconnected from patient's families/loves ones, and does not effectively relay crucially important medical information, which could make the difference in an effective recovery. He also lacked compassion, and kindness, and seems to view the patient as a number on chart, rather than a person. His arrogance gives him an undeserved feeling of self importance, which he clearly displays, should you have to talk to him. DO NOT USE THIS PHYSICIAN.

Do not use the services of this physician if you care anything about compassion, or bedside manner. I would call him arrogant, but that would be unfair to arrogant people.He appears to care more about policy and protocols than he does about saving lives, or offering comfort and hope to patients and families in distress.

I was critically ill and Dr. Einstein literally saved my life. He clearly explained my diagnosis and provided me with several treatment options explaining the risks and benefits that each had. He took the time to truly listen to my concerns and addressed them until I was comfortable in coming to a decision. I find him to be compassionate, caring and an outstanding clinician. I would highly recommend him.
